Anyone know of any good muffler shops around that don't charge an arm and a leg for service? Looking to get a new midpipe without a resonator in it or a relatively smaller one. I would have them use my current mid pipe but the flex joint has a small hole in it.

My wrx threw a p0303/0302 cyclinder misfire on 2 and 3. she ran beautiful earlier today and right before i filled up at the new sphinx on 14 and 29 in greer now shes bogged down when i get on the throttle im still making boost and idles perfect. also a week or two a ago the tgv code came up the sensor by the turbo i wiggled it and made sure it was tight and the code went away. but if you guys can help that would be awesome im scanning the forums now. thanks!!!

Are you running E85? if so misfire codes are normal.

If not it could be your plugs, injectors or bad gas. Can you pull a learning view?

jaun i put some lucas injector cleaner and she runs fine but now i have a pin hole leak some where near the turbo because it was dripping onto the down pipe i could see the drips where they landed but not from. but i could hear it. im not sure if it was oil or coolant didnt get a good smell. its a new turbo under warranty still so most likely isnt it im thinking maybe a line to the turbo or a line near the turbo any thoughts or expiernce with this problem before?

If it's dripping onto the downpipe it should be burning. If it's sweet it's antifreeze. Keep an eye on your oil and water levels/ gauges in the mean time. You'll have to pull the turbo heat shield to really see anything. on the leak. Also if you get any more blinking CELs post back.

yea i got a lil smoke from the drips and ill keep an eye i havent had any blinking cel's yet. the L pipe under the intercooler has what seems to be a lil oil spray im not to sure i just recently bought this car about a month ago im in the middle of fixing odds and ends. and i know the sweet smell from coolant i could pick up some liquid silver to add to the coolant and fix the pin hole. but if its oil idk saterday ill run it and then jack it up and see if i can see anything. thanks for the tips

Now i have a a misfire on cyclinder 1 2 3 p0303/302/301 they keep developing. but i have found that the hose to turbo to the intercooler isnt tight and all the way on there and the MAF hose connecting to the intercooler as well isnt all the way on there. ugh!!! im taking off the intercooler to see for a better look.
any comment and tips would be awesome!

Is the car smoking at all from the exhaust? how about from the oil filler cap?

@jaun no the exhaust doesnt smoke at all. i havent checked the oil cap yet but i will if you guys want to get together and help me scope out everything that would be awesome!! do beer n burgers at someones place.

@340duster i will i plan on getting the L hose first because of my lack of funds im gonna call some junkyards and see if they have it for cheap untill the one comes in from boxer4.

do you guys think after the hoses get replaced itll help fix the misfires?

I thought post turbo leaks (exhaust leaks) were not detrimental to the car and pre turbo leaks would cause maf issues which are bad for the car since metered air is not correctly being measured.

I'm talking about a boost leak between the compressor outlet and the throttle body. If you have a bad enough boost leak the car won't run at all under any real load. Pre turbo (compressor housing) will cause MAF (lean) issues.

A pre turbo exhaust leak will just keep you from hitting target boost, and make your car smell like exhaust.

The stock hard oil feed line to the turbo is known to get a hairline crack in them. I had to replace mine with a SS line about a month ago because of the crack. So, the oil leak may be coming from that area.

That feed line is a bugger, mine cracked on me twice. First time was a quick braise job, 2nd time I braised that thing real gooooood. If it is cracked you'll see oil pooling up on the center section of the turbo and it will smoke constantly out of the hood scoop.

I'm no expert but I'm happy to look at it if you need another set of eyes on it.

That's news to me. I've luckily never ran into that *finds wood to knock on*

Deffinatly! that way we can scope it out and see if anything else needs done. i have my L hose and intake manifold hose coming either tomorrow or monday. my rs didnt have coil packs so this is the first im dealing with them id like to take them off and check em out to see if there ok but dont know what bad ones look like. because my car still has the misfire cel and its bugging the heck out of me!!lol if anyone else would like to join ill buy a case! lol incentive maybe turn this into a work on your subaru meet lol just pm me your number and we'll set something up i really appreciate it!

today was the first day i got a blinking check engine and now cobb reads p0303/302/301 and TWO PFFE which i belive are misfires. ive almost got the gas tank drained then to fill up and add some seafoam and see if it helps! *crosses fingers*

Hey Guys --- Just picked up a new-to-me 07 STI. This is my third STI (04, 06, now 07) and I'm glad to be back on the Subby sauce! I will probably do a formal member page when I have more time but wanted to give a basic 'hello' to the SC/NC guys...I live in S Charlotte.

07 STI (picked up from FL Subby dealer with 17,896 on odo). Took the car the Motion Lab to get Stage 2 mods plus tune and I pick it up Thurs. look forward to being Subscribed to the thread!

Went great!! The guys at ML do amazing work. 320 HP and 340 ish Torque I think? Been a couple weeks since I picked it up. The car had weird boost spike before which they fixed and the car feels a lot more reliable. They even heard an exhaust leak and fixed it with a new gasket to the midpipe without me asking for free.
